• 7:20
  I Hate Talking: I don't know, you could call them UP, I guess.
• 7:23
  I Hate Talking: Well, maybe I was saying, thinking that when you, they say OP because they say it so often.
• 7:29
  I Hate Talking: You could yell out like Optimus Prime or something like that.
• 7:34
  I Hate Talking: They will not find that funny.
• 7:36
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 7:37
  I Hate Talking: They might not even know who Optimus Prime is.
• 7:39
  I Hate Talking: They know the Transformers, but I don't know if they know the character Optimus Prime is like the main character in the Transformers.
• 7:45
  I Hate Talking: They probably don't know one piece either.
• 7:48
  I Hate Talking: You don't probably don't even know one piece.
• 7:50
  I Hate Talking: -- Is that a -- band?
• 7:51
  I Hate Talking: Oh, the anime series?
• 7:52
  I Hate Talking: -- Oh -- no, I thought it was a band because that one is above.

• 8:15
  I Hate Talking: I guess we have a new show to watch then.
• 8:18
  I Hate Talking: I think I've tried to make you watch it one time and it, it didn't work.
• 8:22
  I Hate Talking: So That is our word or phrase of the episode, OP.
• 8:29
  I Hate Talking: And specifically thinking of how our kids use it in reference to video games and the different buffs or weapons that they may have within said video games as being overpowered.
• 8:42
  I Hate Talking: But Also referring to it as perhaps both of ours more common usage in reference to original poster in Reddit.
• 8:52
  I Hate Talking: And different website.
• 8:55
  I Hate Talking: Things of that nature.
• 8:57
  I Hate Talking: Message boards, indeed.
• 8:59
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, so I guess it definitely depends on the context, the way our kids use it.
• 9:05
  I Hate Talking: Saying overpowered, would you consider that a positive thing or negative?
• 9:10
  I Hate Talking: I think it's typically used in more of a negative connotation where it's like sort of a diss on a person that they are winning the video game just because they are using an OP.
• 9:22
  I Hate Talking: Thing within the video game.
• 9:25
  I Hate Talking: Like they didn't earn it, they cheated.

• 9:46
  I Hate Talking: They might.
• 9:47
  I Hate Talking: Mm.
• 9:48
  I Hate Talking: They may indeed Acronyms are crazy cause you could just make anything an acronym, right?
• 9:55
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, like scuba or laser or taser, radar.
• 10:01
  I Hate Talking: So, uh, do you want me to show my hand or do you want to keep?
• 10:05
  I Hate Talking: A mystery alive.
• 10:07
  I Hate Talking: Well, I guess in blackjack, you show your hand now in.
• 10:11
  I Hate Talking: The games of chance.
• 10:13
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, we've been playing blackjack we've been.
• 10:14
  I Hate Talking: As all good parents do, right?
• 10:19
  I Hate Talking: Teaching your elementary kids how to.
• 10:21
  I Hate Talking: Use poker chips and play.
• 10:24
  I Hate Talking: That's what we've been doing at nights nowadays.

  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 10:27
  I Hate Talking: I mean, it does help with their math skills.
• 10:29
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I mean, our six year old's good when we play blackjack.
• 10:33
  I Hate Talking: He's having to count to 21 and figure it out, and he's doing good.
• 10:38
  I Hate Talking: Doing well.
• 10:40
  I Hate Talking: But that's not what you're referring to when you're talking about showing your hand.
• 10:43
  I Hate Talking: No, when we were dating, we weren't even married yet.
• 10:47
  I Hate Talking: There was an acronym, I won't say what it is, about your job, and I didn't know how to spell.
• 10:53
  I Hate Talking: Your job thing, so I just.
• 10:56
  I Hate Talking: Use an acronym myself to shorten it.
• 10:59
  I Hate Talking: And I remember you being so impressed.
• 11:02
  I Hate Talking: You were like, whoa, how did you know to use that?
• 11:04
  I Hate Talking: I was like, uh, in my head it was cause I didn't know how to spell it.
• 11:08
  I Hate Talking: Indeed I do remember that happening, happening.
• 11:12
  I Hate Talking: Yes, but I did you know that's why I did it?
• 11:14
  I Hate Talking: No, -- I did not know that's why -- you did that.
• 11:16
  I Hate Talking: Why did, why did you have to, because you couldn't.
• 11:18
  I Hate Talking: Text it, you can spell it in a text format is what you're saying.
• 11:22
  I Hate Talking: I see.
• 11:23
  I Hate Talking: I see.
• 11:24
  I Hate Talking: And I didn't know how to spell it, so I just did the initials.
• 11:29
  I Hate Talking: -- And you were so -- impressed.
• 11:32
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 11:32
  I Hate Talking: I remember that instance, and I do remember being impressed.
• 11:35
  I Hate Talking: So there you go.
• 11:36
  I Hate Talking: Are you less impressed now that you know, or are you more impressed that I kept it a secret for 18 years?
• 11:42
  I Hate Talking: I guess that's.
• 11:43
  I Hate Talking: So, since OP had so many different definitions for the acronym, I was curious if there is a particular acronym that has the most definitions.
• 11:54
  I Hate Talking: And according to Encyclopedia Brit Britannica and Wikipedia, That the acronym SA SPA is the most definitions for a particular acronym with 239 definitions according to acronym Finder.com.
• 12:15
  I Hate Talking: Holy moly, OK, don't tell me yet.
• 12:17
  I Hate Talking: Let me see if I can figure any out.
• 12:19
  I Hate Talking: The only one that's coming to my mind is a spa, like you go get massages.
• 12:24
  I Hate Talking: Right, that's just a word, not an acronym.
• 12:26
  I Hate Talking: OK, so spa, sensor cent I was gonna say central, but that's not it, um, seasons processing association.
• 12:40
  I Hate Talking: I, I can't even think of a single one.
• 12:42
  I Hate Talking: So it's not specifically an acronym, it's more of a shortening of a word.
• 12:48
  I Hate Talking: There's a lot of stuff with SPA referring to Spanish or Spain, and that's why it has so many.
• 12:54
  I Hate Talking: There's also a lot of acronyms that have to do with the word special and then whatever the PA is there can also be a lot of school and then whatever the PA is like school of Performing Arts.
• 13:10
  I Hate Talking: There's a lot associated with sales.
• 13:13
  I Hate Talking: That Have that as well as student.
• 13:17
  I Hate Talking: Or senior, that's what I'm about to say that that's why I came up with like senior production and analyst or something like that, senior program assistant, student progress and achievement as examples.
• 13:30
  I Hate Talking: There's a lot of Student and senior -- ones in here as well as -- special.
• 13:35
  I Hate Talking: So SPA is the most common initials.
• 13:39
  I Hate Talking: The acronym with the most different definitions, yes, according to these sources.
• 13:45
  I Hate Talking: So you would know it.
• 13:46
  I Hate Talking: I mean, I guess there's acronyms that I use at work that are just so commonly used that they're basically words and I may not even know what they mean.
• 13:57
  I Hate Talking: I mean, I know conceptually what they mean, but I don't know necessarily what they stand for.
• 14:00
  I Hate Talking: I know them though?
• 14:02
  I Hate Talking: These are because you're in your field.
• 14:04
  I Hate Talking: No, these are like not even field-specific acronyms, -- but like company-specific -- acronyms.
• 14:08
  I Hate Talking: So, SPA.
• 14:11
  I Hate Talking: There's a lot.
• 14:13
  I Hate Talking: Spa.
• 14:15
  I Hate Talking: But most people don't call acronyms by the sound, right?
• 14:20
  I Hate Talking: You call it SPA.
• 14:21
  I Hate Talking: Yes, SPA.
• 14:24
  I Hate Talking: Or you just, in some of these I don't think are true acronyms like Spain.
• 14:30
  I Hate Talking: Or like the team shortenings of the three-letter code for the World Cup and things like that.
• 14:36
  I Hate Talking: Sometimes you might say them as like the word, but I think most times you would say the entire country name.
• 14:45
  I Hate Talking: Like Germany or Spain.
• 14:48
  I Hate Talking: I mean, I guess like.
• 14:50
  I Hate Talking: You might say, What's CVG?
• 14:55
  I Hate Talking: Which one was that?
• 14:56
  I Hate Talking: I have no idea.
• 14:57
  I Hate Talking: They just played today, I think.
• 15:00
  I Hate Talking: Central, I don't know.
• 15:03
  I Hate Talking: I don't wanna offend anyone.
• 15:04
  I Hate Talking: Look it up.
• 15:05
  I Hate Talking: Maybe it's not CBD.
• 15:07
  I Hate Talking: -- What -- is they play Uruguay.
• 15:11
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, Uruguay, it wasn't CBG.
• 15:14
  I Hate Talking: Cabo Verde Is who played Uruguay.
• 15:20
  I Hate Talking: Cabo?
• 15:22
  I Hate Talking: That's what my thing says.
• 15:24
  I Hate Talking: It says -- Cape -- Verde.
• 15:26
  I Hate Talking: This is Cabo in Fox Sports One it says.
• 15:30
  I Hate Talking: Interesting.
• 15:32
  I Hate Talking: I did see people wearing Cabo shirts.
• 15:35
  I Hate Talking: See.
• 15:37
  I Hate Talking: PD.
• 15:39
  I Hate Talking: Well then Cabo, yeah, Cabo wouldn't be a P, it would be Cape, Cape Verde.
• 15:44
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 15:46
  I Hate Talking: I don't know what to tell you, bud.
• 15:48
  I Hate Talking: This is what my phone says.
• 15:49
  I Hate Talking: CPV though, right?
• 15:52
  I Hate Talking: CPV as Cabo Verde.
• 15:54
  I Hate Talking: Cabo verde.
• 15:57
  I Hate Talking: is a country in Africa.
• 15:59
  I Hate Talking: Officially, the Republic of Cabo Verde.
• 16:05
  I Hate Talking: It's in central Atlantic Ocean, 500 kilometers off of West Africa.
• 16:13
  I Hate Talking: It's got 10 volcanic islands.
• 16:16
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 16:18
  I Hate Talking: Anyway, my point being that when you see the word SPA as referring to The team of Spain in the World Cup, you're not going to say spa or SBA, you're going to say Spain, right?
• 16:32
  I Hate Talking: Well, it's like.
• 16:32
  I Hate Talking: Us, right, our country.
• 16:35
  I Hate Talking: It says USA we don't call it us.
• 16:40
  I Hate Talking: Asa use, it's USA.
• 16:46
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, but you might call Cape Verde CVP.
• 16:48
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, like USA.
• 16:51
  I Hate Talking: Right.
• 16:53
  I Hate Talking: You say that you don't.
• 16:55
  I Hate Talking: Say use.
• 16:57
  I Hate Talking: So if it's a shortening, you say the entire word.
• 16:59
  I Hate Talking: If it's a true or semi-true acronym, you would pronounce the letters.
• 17:04
  I Hate Talking: Is that the rule that we're landing on?
• 17:08
  I Hate Talking: I don't think so.
• 17:09
  I Hate Talking: What's the Ivory Coast?
• 17:11
  I Hate Talking: That's the other one that I'm thinking of.
• 17:12
  I Hate Talking: CIV, see, maybe that's why I was getting confused.
• 17:16
  I Hate Talking: So that's the coast of ivory, I suppose.
• 17:19
  I Hate Talking: CIV.
• 17:21
  I Hate Talking: So would you say CIV or would you say Ivory Coast, or would you say SIV?
• 17:24
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I wouldn't say SIV.
• 17:27
  I Hate Talking: I would say either CIV.
• 17:28
  I Hate Talking: I'd probably look it up, because I unfortunately don't know what it stood for.
• 17:33
  I Hate Talking: And then I'd call it Ivory Coast.
• 17:36
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 17:37
  I Hate Talking: But that one's sort of in line with being an acronym, similar to Keeper.
• 17:44
  I Hate Talking: Do you only call it USA because you live there and that's sort of.
• 17:49
  I Hate Talking: Familiar term to you?
• 17:52
  I Hate Talking: Other people would just say United States of America.
• 17:54
  I Hate Talking: Maybe, I think people call it the states.
• 17:57
  I Hate Talking: In my experience, right?
• 18:00
  I Hate Talking: What about you?
• 18:01
  I Hate Talking: Dealing with the people from other countries, I feel like people most commonly call it the states.
• 18:07
  I Hate Talking: Mm Yeah, states, I guess.
• 18:10
  I Hate Talking: America, I don't, I'm not very frequently heard it referred to as the United States of America, all, all in one.
• 18:19
  I Hate Talking: It's one of the more shortened things, US, America, states.
• 18:24
  I Hate Talking: Yep, indeed.
• 18:26
  I Hate Talking: Now, if we're talking about acronyms, there's the United Kingdom, I think we usually call it the UK.
• 18:32
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, that's true, but you don't call it.
• 18:34
  I Hate Talking: Uh No, you know what I mean?
• 18:39
  I Hate Talking: It's the UK, the United Kingdom.
• 18:42
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 18:42
  I Hate Talking: Interesting.
• 18:44
  I Hate Talking: So, a bit of a rabbit trail down into the Acronyms of or shortening formed of country codes as it relates to the World Cup all because of SPA because of the most.
• 18:58
  I Hate Talking: Widely used acronym for a variety of different things.
• 19:02
  I Hate Talking: So you go by your.
• 19:07
  I Hate Talking: First, middle, and last name, fairly often.
• 19:11
  I Hate Talking: I do.
• 19:13
  I Hate Talking: And when we write it out, we often go by our children's also.
• 19:18
  I Hate Talking: But we have our youngest shares your middle name, and then obviously shares your last name too.
• 19:24
  I Hate Talking: Hm.
• 19:25
  I Hate Talking: So does that make it complicated that y'all have the same middle and last name?
• 19:30
  I Hate Talking: No, I don't think so.
• 19:33
  I Hate Talking: I've never run into any instances where that was a difficulty.
• 19:37
  I Hate Talking: -- But are you glad that he doesn't share the first initial -- of your?
• 19:40
  I Hate Talking: Yes, that's true.
• 19:41
  I Hate Talking: I would, I suppose that would have been a Reason for not naming him the same.
• 19:49
  I Hate Talking: First initial, like that would have precluded all names that started with my same letter.
• 19:55
  I Hate Talking: We Had a name that we were gonna name him.
• 20:01
  I Hate Talking: But by the time we got to his name, we knew his middle name would be yours because all of our children's middle names are grandparents' middle names.
• 20:12
  I Hate Talking: And because we lost our 4th child, we weren't gonna reuse that middle name.
• 20:19
  I Hate Talking: So essentially, what is our 4th child now, but was, is truly our 5th child.
• 20:26
  I Hate Talking: We had to come up with another middle name.
• 20:29
  I Hate Talking: We discussed using our parents, but then that gets tricky, right?
• 20:34
  I Hate Talking: Cause which parent do you choose or do you keep having kids to use all of the parents.
• 20:39
  I Hate Talking: So we opted for your middle name instead.
• 20:43
  I Hate Talking: Yep.
• 20:45
  I Hate Talking: And because of his acronym, we could not use our ideal first name.
• 20:50
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 20:52
  I Hate Talking: We started saying like this is gonna be his name and then you noticed it fairly quickly.
• 20:57
  I Hate Talking: But you were like, oh, can't do that because it ended up being a bad word, right?
• 21:02
  I Hate Talking: Yep.
• 21:04
  I Hate Talking: The other thing that we did.
• 21:05
  I Hate Talking: Not necessarily on purpose in the beginning, but on purpose towards the end, since we do have 4 kids, is that they're all in alphabetic order.
• 21:12
  I Hate Talking: It does make it really nice for like legal forms and things that they're just in order all the same time, uh, because it will either be sorted by age or it will be sorted by name.
• 21:26
  I Hate Talking: And even if it's sorted by last name, then first name or exclusively by first name, it is all in the same order all the time, right?
• 21:35
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, yeah, in the beginning that was not intentional.
• 21:38
  I Hate Talking: It happened.
• 21:39
  I Hate Talking: But yeah, I guess it's not a spoiler if we say it, but obviously we have all boys, no girls, but at our last pregnancy, you wanted, if it was a girl, you're really rooting for Zaria, which was always in the running for all of the names.
• 21:57
  I Hate Talking: I think Zaria is beautiful.
• 21:58
  I Hate Talking: I remember being like, no, it's a Z.
• 22:01
  I Hate Talking: You just want that cause once we hit Z, we're done.
• 22:04
  I Hate Talking: No, that wasn't My only reason, but only reason, -- but that was in there a little -- bit of a reason, but you didn't there's, there's names after.
• 22:16
  I Hate Talking: Zaria like a Ze or something like that.
• 22:21
  I Hate Talking: But, but then, no, I don't think so because then the initials would still be the same.
• 22:25
  I Hate Talking: So I think we would have had to abandon the -- alphabetical nature -- start back at the beginning -- or -- like name them Ampersand or something.
• 22:32
  I Hate Talking: Start using numbers or something.
• 22:37
  I Hate Talking: Well, numbers would come before letters, so that wouldn't work.
• 22:40
  I Hate Talking: I think you'd have to use a special character like an ampersand or a dash or a slash or something like that.
• 22:45
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, that would be good.
• 22:47
  I Hate Talking: You could just name them like slash.
• 22:48
  I Hate Talking: But it would be actually the slash.
• 22:52
  I Hate Talking: Icon as their name.
• 22:54
  I Hate Talking: I'm sure somebody has that out there, probably.
• 22:57
  I Hate Talking: I'm looking at the keyboard to see if there's any other ones that would be good.
• 23:01
  I Hate Talking: Slash is probably the best.
• 23:04
  I Hate Talking: Or dash dash would work, yep.
• 23:07
  I Hate Talking: Star star, but that's really the asterisk.
• 23:12
  I Hate Talking: Star is not a correct, no, it's probably used more within the cell phone era as being star, but 360, that's an asterisk.
• 23:24
  I Hate Talking: Why do I have that number in my head?
• 23:27
  I Hate Talking: I don't know what 360 is.
• 23:29
  I Hate Talking: Is that the, is that the um.
• 23:33
  I Hate Talking: Caller ID, uh, probably that's like what you.
• 23:37
  I Hate Talking: Dial the Call somebody back if it's an unknown number or something.
• 23:42
  I Hate Talking: And then pound sign, that's another one that has been co-opted because now it's a hashtag, but hashtag was not the original name of that particular icon.
• 23:51
  I Hate Talking: Star 360, is it a 60?
• 23:55
  I Hate Talking: Are you getting like wildcard results on search engines because of star being like a wildcard thing?
• 24:02
  I Hate Talking: It's coming up with things like, like 360 or some educational program.
• 24:10
  I Hate Talking: Star 60 is a code used on AT&T phones to activate call block.
• 24:16
  I Hate Talking: Is that what you're thinking of?
• 24:17
  I Hate Talking: I think so.
• 24:18
  I Hate Talking: So 60, -- you said -- 60, -- not -- 360, OK.
• 24:22
  I Hate Talking: I feel like that was something we used to have to do back in the day.
• 24:25
  I Hate Talking: He didn't want people to know who was calling.
• 24:28
  I Hate Talking: He'd hit 60.
• 24:30
  I Hate Talking: And that would block them, block you.
• 24:35
  I Hate Talking: So people didn't know that you were calling, right?
• 24:40
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 24:41
  I Hate Talking: I never used any of these particular features, so I'm not sure.
• 24:44
  I Hate Talking: -- You never -- prank called anyone.
• 24:45
  I Hate Talking: No, I don't think I ever have, ever.
• 24:49
  I Hate Talking: Good for you.
• 24:50
  I Hate Talking: Sometimes when like, My parents would answer the phone and, or when I would answer the phone, we would pretend to be like a pizza shop or something.
• 25:00
  I Hate Talking: That was like the probably the closest thing to a prank call that I've ever done.
• 25:03
  I Hate Talking: You do that on my phone right now.
• 25:06
  I Hate Talking: People like all this.
• 25:08
  I Hate Talking: -- Oh -- yeah, we're spam callers.
• 25:09
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, you can just pretend to be an old woman or like a pizza shop or something.
• 25:13
  I Hate Talking: They don't call back after that.
• 25:15
  I Hate Talking: It worked for me.
• 25:16
  I Hate Talking: I've always do that with my spam callers and I get very, very few S spam calls now.
• 25:21
  I Hate Talking: I get, I need to get one of those apps that delete all my information off the web.
• 25:28
  I Hate Talking: Cause I fall for too many spam calls because I like to get discounts.
• 25:34
  I Hate Talking: So they're like, put your phone number and you get 30% off, and so I do it.
• 25:39
  I Hate Talking: And now everyone has my number and I get.
• 25:42
  I Hate Talking: I mean, it's not an exaggeration to say at least 3 to 4 spam calls a day.
• 25:48
  I Hate Talking: That's true.
• 25:50
  I Hate Talking: So that is our word or phrase OP and a variety of different discussion on country codes and phone codes and other acronyms.
• 26:01
  I Hate Talking: So you can always like, share, subscribe, and if you share this episode with another person, hopefully they won't 6 to you.
• 26:09
  I Hate Talking: Uh whatever it works.
• 26:13
  I Hate Talking: I want to try calling you now and try it.
• 26:15
  I Hate Talking: I don't know, it probably, it looks like it still works.
• 26:18
  I Hate Talking: It looks like it has recent documentation on Various cell phone providers' websites, so I think it still does work.
• 26:26
  I Hate Talking: But if you use it, and then how do you undo it?
• 26:29
  I Hate Talking: This is a dangerous proposition that you've made here.
• 26:33
  I Hate Talking: Don't say my number online.
• 26:36
  I Hate Talking: Don't 60 me, then I won't ever be able to call you.
• 26:40
  I Hate Talking: You're gonna block me.
• 26:41
  I Hate Talking: No, it's just for now, right?
• 26:44
  I Hate Talking: I don't know how you undo it.
• 26:45
  I Hate Talking: I was just gonna call you right now to test it out.
• 26:49
  I Hate Talking: -- Don't -- do that.
• 26:50
  I Hate Talking: It's gonna block me and then it will never work again.
• 26:52
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I don't think so.
• 26:54
  I Hate Talking: It's just right now.
• 26:55
  I Hate Talking: No, don't do this, OK?
• 26:57
  I Hate Talking: I won't do it.
• 26:58
  I Hate Talking: All right.
• 26:59
  I Hate Talking: Maybe one of our listeners is brave enough to test it with a real phone number, and you can let us know in a comment or text or email.
• 27:07
  I Hate Talking: Let us know what happens with the 360, not 360, 60.
• 27:11
  I Hate Talking: Why is it, why is it 360?
• 27:13
  I Hate Talking: I don't know.
• 27:15
  I Hate Talking: I wanna say 360, but it's.
• 27:16
  I Hate Talking: It's just, no, it's 60.
• 27:20
  I Hate Talking: There also is that phone number you'd call that was like a breakup number.
• 27:24
  I Hate Talking: I never use this.
• 27:26
  I Hate Talking: I had the time and temperature phone number memorized back when you had to call a number to find out what the weather was.
• 27:32
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, I was thinking about that recently, not about that, but about I took the kids to the movie theater.
• 27:38
  I Hate Talking: I was talking about how expensive it was last week.
• 27:41
  I Hate Talking: I took him to a movie, just like the summer dollar theater movie thing.
• 27:46
  I Hate Talking: And I was like, man, I used to have to like call this phone number and listen to everything.
• 27:55
  I Hate Talking: Like all their spiel to find out when the movie was.
• 27:59
  I Hate Talking: Life is so good now that I can just go online.
• 28:03
  I Hate Talking: Yeah, Seinfeld did an episode about that.
• 28:05
  I Hate Talking: That was like the funniest Seinfeld episode in my opinion, was when the guy did a movie.
• 28:10
  I Hate Talking: Call service Maybe you can show me sometime.
• 28:13
  I Hate Talking: I've never felt like Seinfeld was funny.
• 28:15
  I Hate Talking: I didn't either, but that was one of the funny ones in my opinion.
• 28:18
  I Hate Talking: Maybe we can watch.
• 28:19
  I Hate Talking: There you go.
• 28:20
  I Hate Talking: You can let us know your favorite Seinfeld episode and maybe we'll go watch One Piece and or Ghost in the Shell.
• 28:26
  I Hate Talking: Or attempt to.
• 28:28
  I Hate Talking: Attempt that's more like it.
• 28:31
  I Hate Talking: -- Or -- at least introduce our kids to Transformers so they know who Optimus Prime is.
